(BGDT) - The "security lighting" model deployed in Quynh Do village, Bac Lung commune (Luc Nam - Bac Giang) has shown remarkable effectiveness. With electricity, the roads are brightly lit, beautifying the village, maintaining security and order, and reducing traffic accidents.
Arriving at Quynh Do village, taking us on a tour around the wide concrete roads, with public lighting systems ensuring safety and beauty, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Ly, Deputy Head of Inter-family Group No. 2, said: "That is thanks to the consensus of the Party's will, the people's determination to build a model village, a bright - green - clean - beautiful - safe and secure countryside".

From the "Security Light" model, street lights are bright on every street in Quynh Do village. |
Quynh Do village has a large area, nearly 3,000 people, 24 inter-family groups, 2 km of National Highway 37 running through the village, the main village road and alley road are about 6 km long. Major Bui Ba Truong, Deputy Head of Bac Lung Commune Police, said: "National Highway 37 leading to Cam Ly bridge to Hai Duong province has two curved sections. Every day, thousands of vehicles pass by, including many trucks, worker transport vehicles, especially container trucks, traveling day and night, posing a very high risk of traffic accidents.
In 2022, there were 5 incidents in this area, killing 1 person and injuring 5 others. In addition, there were several thefts of livestock, agricultural products, and water pumps in the village, causing outrage among the people. In this situation, the Steering Committee for Crime Prevention, Social Evils, and Building a Movement for the Whole People to Protect National Security (abbreviated as the Steering Committee) of the commune found it necessary to build a model of "Security Light".
“Is it difficult to choose a location?” I asked Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Ly. He said that at first, when people did not understand clearly, they also encountered some difficulties. When this issue was brought to the meeting, people spoke up about the inadequacy of the lack of lighting. “When they saw suspicious bad guys hanging around, because it was dark, they could not recognize the bad guys to chase them away or follow them, they thought they were citizens of the village. There were traffic accidents, collisions, and falls on the village road at night,” Ms. Nguyen Thi Khoa, Head of the Women's Association, informed.
The “Security Light” model has effectively supported the work of ensuring security and order and traffic safety as well as the patrol activities of the self-managed veteran groups and self-managed inter-family groups; supporting lighting for security surveillance cameras in the village” - Major Bui Ba Truong, Deputy Head of Bac Lung Commune Police. |
So the people agreed to support. After calculating, it was proposed that each household contribute 500 thousand VND, but some people also expressed their opinion that if there was any additional cost, they would not pay more; and after the electricity was turned on, would it be possible to "sustain" it, what would the monthly cost be, who would operate and manage it... Those concerns were discussed in detail by the village leadership. After reaching an agreement and determination to do it, the inter-family group went to consult some roads in Doi Ngo town.
However, when calculating, the cost was too high compared to the expected contribution. "Necessity is the mother of invention", so they mobilized people in the village who knew about electricity and mechanics to participate. Inter-family group No. 2 had deputy group leader Nguyen Ngoc Ly, who was also an electrician, so he volunteered to do it first. After that, the remaining 23 inter-family groups also contributed funds to build lighting.
Through propaganda and mobilization, people have contributed their own efforts and money to install 390 lighting poles, costing 1.5 million VND/pole, with a 3-bulb pole every 40-50 meters. The total cost contributed by the people is 585 million VND. After completion, each household only has to pay an additional tens of thousands of VND per month to "feed" them.
Since the street lights were installed (November 2022), people riding motorbikes do not have to turn on the lights at night, and the bulbs in their yards do not need to be lit. In the first 6 months of this year, traffic accidents on Highway 37 decreased by 3 cases, 1 death, and 2 injuries compared to the same period in 2022. At night, long-distance drivers and people, especially female workers, who come home late from work, feel more secure.
Recently, on a village road, a drunk citizen fell on the concrete sidewalk, and was promptly taken to the emergency room by the people. Young people no longer gather at night. During patrols, the forces discovered and chased away 5 strangers who came to the village, confiscating 2 sets of door breakers and 2 homemade knives and swords.
Since the village roads and alleys were lit up, the atmosphere in the village has become more bustling. In the evening, members of 3 art clubs and 5 sports clubs invite each other to the cultural house to practice, creating a united and joyful atmosphere. On the decorative lampposts, there are also billboards and slogans promoting new rural construction, and hanging the national flag on holidays and Tet. During the construction, the participation of many people has strengthened solidarity and cohesion, contributing to bringing Quynh Do to the model village finish line by the end of 2022.
Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Trung Kien, Deputy Head of Luc Nam District Police, informed: From this pilot model, the District Steering Committee directed the expansion, requiring each commune and town to select and build at least 1 "Security Light" model. In Bac Lung commune, Dao Lang and Dam Chua villages have now implemented it.
